Photoconvertible fluorescent proteins (pcRFPs) are a group of fluorophores that undergo an
irreversible green-to-red shift in emission colour upon irradiation with near-ultraviolet (near …

Photo-acclimatisation by the algal endosymbionts of scleractinian corals to changes in
environmental conditions may influence their density and/or the concentration of …

It is speculated that differences in coral bleaching susceptibility may be influenced by the
genotype of in hospite Symbiodinium and their differential responses to bleaching stressors …

Heating the scleractinian coral, Montipora monasteriata (Forskal 1775) to 32° C under< 650
mmol quanta m− 2 s− 1 led to bleaching in the form of a reduction in Peridinin, xanthophyll …

Coral reefs rely upon the highly optimized coral–Symbiodiniaceae symbiosis, making them
sensitive to environmental change and susceptible to anthropogenic stress. Coral bleaching …

Acclimatization through phenotypic plasticity represents a more rapid response to
environmental change than adaptation and is vital to optimize organisms' performance in …

Light is often the most abundant resource within the nutrient-poor waters surrounding coral
reefs. Consequently, zooxanthellae (Symbiodinium spp.) must continually photoacclimate to …

A comparison of strongly, weakly or non-fluorescent colour morphs has the potential to
provide an ideal model for investigating the possible ecological function of GFP-homologs in …

The role of symbiont variation in the photobiology of reef corals was addressed by
investigating the links among symbiont genetic diversity, function and ecological distribution …

Coral reefs are currently experiencing substantial ecological impoverishment as a result of
anthropogenic stressors, and the majority of reefs are facing immediate risk. Increasing …
